Free while in beta. Coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.

The Today screen in Club Coach: a 10.5 km threshold session, 3 × 8 minutes at 4:15 per km, with effort 4 of 5, the training effect and a note from the coach.

Three steps to race day

  1. Tell coach about you

    Your race, your recent times, the days you can run, your long run day, injuries and holidays. Mostly taps, about three minutes.

  2. Run an all-out 5k

    No race in the last six months? Week one starts with a 5k time trial. It sets your VDOT, your race predictions and every training pace.

  3. Run today's session

    Open the app and today's run is there, with the pace, the zone and why it matters. Put it on your watch, run it, tick it off.

Every run comes with a reason

Coach tells you what each session is for and how it should feel, in plain English. Easy days stay easy. Hard days have a number to hit.

Threshold · Effort 4/53 × 8 min at 4:15/km, 2 min jog between. Comfortably hard: a few words at a time, not sentences.
Long run · Effort 3/517 km steady at 5:18–5:52/km. Take water or a gel every 40 minutes if you're out longer than 90 minutes.
Rest dayNo run, no score to chase. Ten minutes of mobility and put your feet up.

Every run also shows its training effect, so you know what it's building: base, tempo, threshold, speed or VO2 max.

What's in the app

Pace zones and heart-rate zones in Club Coach, from a VDOT of 50.
Paces and zones

Your paces, not someone else's

One race result gives you a VDOT, Jack Daniels' measure of running fitness. From it come your easy, marathon, threshold, interval and rep paces. Add your max and resting heart rate and you get heart-rate zones too.

Train by pace, heart rate or feel. Run a faster race and every pace moves with you.

Race predictor

Know what you're on for

Your VDOT predicts your time for 5k, 10k, half and marathon. Club Coach sets it next to your goal, so you can see if the target is a stretch or already in the legs.

Base, build, race-specific and taper weeks, with a lighter cutback week every so often so your body absorbs the work.

Training Score: season points, level, streak, points this week and badges.
Training Score

Points for turning up

Every session you tick off scores ten points per effort point. Strength sessions add ten more. Build a streak, earn badges and climb the levels from Starter to Sub-3 Club.

Rest days don't break your streak. Rest is part of the plan.

Workouts on your watch

Download any run as a .FIT workout for your Garmin. Send to Garmin with one tap is coming.

Strength built in

Two 30-minute sessions a week for calves, hips and core, placed after easy runs, never before a hard one.

Plans round real life

Add holidays, busy weeks and tune-up races. Coach reshapes the weeks around them.

Injury mode New

Tell coach you're injured and the plan rewrites itself around cross-training and rest, with staged rehab suggestions and an "I'm back running" block to ease you in. Not medical advice. Always see a physio or GP.

Light or dark

Follows your phone's setting, or pick one. Easy to read on a dark morning or in bright sun.

Always up to date

The app updates itself. New features and better plans arrive without a download.
